Understanding the Concept of Nyayas in Samhitas

Ayurvedic texts explains about trividha jnanopaya.The first step i.e. the of , is not an easy task in which the subject matter of Ayurveda is in coded language Sutra roopa . Several tools for adhyayana mentioned in samhitas are Tantrayukti, Tacchilya, Arthashraya, Kalpana, Nyayas etc. Many times, mere translation might not convey the actual intention of the author. To overcome this, the Nyayas maxims help play an important role.The Nyayas convey larger meaning than the sutra. Nyayas describes the meaning or relative meaning of context. Basically they are seen by the general public as logical proposition. They are specifically used when characterising a situation. By simply reading the sanskrit verses it is not possible to understand the idea of the author clearly. That is why the commentator have used the different maxims to explore the contextual meanings and to clear the hidden meanings in a better way.
